ROBERTO PANDOLFI. ORIGINAL DRAWING. Signed bottom right
Artist: Roberto Pandolfi (Argentine, 20th–21st century)
Medium: Ink and colored pencil (or pastel) on paper
Dimensions: 60 × 47 cm
Description:
Original drawing by Roberto Pandolfi depicting a fantastical figure composed of serpentine and humanoid elements. The central face, surrounded by sinuous, coiling forms and appendages, appears both mechanical and organic. Set against a vivid magenta background, the composition bursts with electric hues—neon yellows, blues, and reds—evoking a psychedelic or dreamlike state.
Pandolfi’s work merges Latin American symbolism with a personal surrealist language, often exploring dualities—man and beast, spirit and matter, inner and outer vision. In this piece, the creature’s hypnotic gaze and winding body suggest transformation, control, and introspection. The composition’s playful menace and intense chromatic contrasts reflect Pandolfi’s unique voice in contemporary visionary art.
